Noble House Designs Giveaway!! {CLOSED}

{use code BDC20 at checkout for 20% off your purchase from now until October 20th!}

Hey loves! I am stoked to share this amazing shop and giveaway with all of you! Noble House Designs is a shop that carries vintage inspired pieces -- necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings!! Each piece is custom made by Sara, and is absolutely fabulous! If you're a regular to my blog then you know my obsession with anything vintage or vintage-esque, plus... I LOVE COLOR... so naturally I was an instant fan to Sara's designs. If you follow Blair Eadie's blog Atlantic-Pacific, then you might recognize Sara's designs from Blair's "City Escape" post HERE.

Q&A with Sara from Noble House Designs:

1.) How long have you been designing jewelry?

Ever since I was little, I was obsessed with jewelry - especially friendship bracelets and charm jewelry (from the vending machine). I am still obsessed with Friendship bracelets! But its only been over a few years that I have started making jewerly for more than a hobby.

2.) How old is NobleHouseDesigns?

Noble House Designs is only 1.5 years old. Its a jewelry company for now but I have larger dreams to become a Home + lifestyle brand. With unique items from all over the world for your house and a fun line of accessories. Of course with color + prints!

3.) What inspires you to create your bright and colorful pieces? I love love color!

I am a true believer that no colors clash. You just have to be careful about what color tones you pair together. I really couldnt find jewelry (in my price range) that was big and colorful to wear with a great black dress or just a white t-shirt + jeans for the weekend. I am also inspired by vintage fashion - especially the 1970s gucci glam time and amazing current designers like Jill Sander, Milly, Gucci, Oscar de la Renta & Lanvin.

4.) If you had to sum your jewelry up in three words, which three would they be?

Tribal, 1970s Palm Beach + unique.

5.) What type of girl do you envision wearing your jewelry?

Ohh, good question! I would have to say Olivia Palermo, Blair from Atlantic-Pacific Blog or Rachel Zoe.

6.) Which piece is currently your favorite right now in your shop?

My new favorite piece is from my fall line. All inspired by color blocking trend, Its called CBI Vintage.

Colorful? Yes, yes and yes!! When it comes to decorating and fashion - I love anything mid century modern or with an asian flair to it or from the 1970s! I appreciate older furniture, its a better quality and usually cheaper in price. My husband and I travel a lot so i tend to pick up fun things for our home like antique Suzanis from Turkey, textiles + lanterns from Morocco, fabric and quilts from India and so on. Its fun to know that you have a unique items in your home that have memories tied to them. We are in the middle of a complete kitchen renovation and its the only place in my house/closet/life that has no color! Its going to be clean, white and modern.

8.) Who are your fave jewelry designers?

Chanel + Oscar de la Renta! I have a pair of chanel earrings that I wear all of the time and a vintage chanel brooch, that I love so much! For more affordable lines, i love Kate spade's jewelry and Betsy Johnson's earrings. They are so cute and easy to mix and match. I wear big necklaces, so i like to wear small earrings or studs.

9.) If you were stranded on an island, and could only have one piece of jewelry with you, which piece would it be?

It would have to be my engagement ring from my husband. He designed the ring himself without my help and it is classic but beautiful. He has great taste! Also, i would imagine I could use it to start a fire on a desert island, so a pretty handy tool as well :)

10.) Any suggestions on ways to style your pieces, or what to wear with them?

My pieces can be a little overwhelming since they are usually multiple strands and colorful. But they can work with any outfit - i promise! I love wearing my necklaces with a crisp white button up and skinny jeans with flats. Or I just bought this great red print DVF wrap dress and will pair my speckled vintage necklace or the GTL necklace with it. When in doubt - wear bright accesorries with a little black dress!

Uuuh, what a great giveaway!!My favorite is definitely the Black & Gold vintage necklace: http://www.etsy.com/listing/81603867/black-and-gold-vintageI liked them on Facebook!I'm following you through Bloglovin
